A heart left on the curbside
To fend for just it's own
Sundown over the city streets and
Darkness is blinding the bloodflow to the brain
Chaos is taking her throne
Upon those prone to be insane
The asphalt streets are paved with silver ice
Stress whispers in his ear like succubi
Tempted by the words of hell
Another man lost to his dreams
